Part of the fun is writing up the story and spending ages on it, it’s not something you’d do every weekend like a small skirmish. This game took us weeks to plan for and write a narrative and I don’t want that to be over in 3 hours

It’s almost always worth it and as CA states it doesn’t always come to an end, that’s why they suggest a time limit rather than tabling or turn limit (because turn 1 and 2 take up most of the time, they took up our entire first day but we got through to turn 6 on the second day)

As I said, totally worth it and worth setting aside the time to take a whole day over.

That sounds like an interesting change. Will there be any equivalent to charging, for some units to always shoot first? Strategems to interrupt that? I'd like to hear how it goes.
